When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite.

They'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.

The working class didn't just vote against their own interests.

They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.

They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.

Not because it helped them.

But because they were told it would hurt someone else.

And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.

Collapses...how?

And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.

Hmmm. Lot of context and analysis missing here.

They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare,

Illegals aren't supposed to be getting benefits or healthcare. For some reason that factoid gets lost.

Oh, and this might be of interest:

That's the actual bill summary.
